I Didn’t Know

[Verse 1]
I didn't know—they showed me photographs
I didn't know—circles and crosshatches
I didn't know that you had two eyes
I didn't know I would recognize your voice
I had no choice

[Verse 2]
I didn't know—you can't see much from so high
I didn't know—only the earth and sky
I didn't know about your dignity
I didn't know as the bombs fell silently
Did you even see them?

[Chorus]
I didn't know you were someone that I knew
I didn't know it was you

[Verse 3]
I didn't know—we hit our target clean
I didn't know I'd have these waking dreams
I didn't know under the blanket of flame
I didn't know that you wore my name next to your heart
I was too smart

[Verse 4]
I didn't know—I read the newspapеrs
I didn't know your hair smelled just like hеrs
I didn't know I could touch your face
I didn't know you would take me in this embrace
It was not wasted

[Chorus]
I didn't know you were someone that I knew
I didn't know it was you
